(Clearwisdom.net) The Sichuan earthquake has touched practitioners everywhere. We are competing with the old forces in order to use opportunities to save sentient beings. Regarding the issues of how to treat disasters taking place in the human world and how to save more sentient beings, I would like to share my understandings with fellow practitioners.
Cherishing Lives
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) does not care about human beings. It regards beings as "substances" and maintains an indifferent attitude to the birth and death of a being. This attitude is very evil. During the past sixty years, the CCP has killed many people at will, which has caused the Chinese people to become very frigid toward the loss of life. As Dafa disciples, we should thoroughly eliminate these evil factors.
The Old Forces Are Weeding out People; The Righteous Fa is Saving People
The old forces claim that they are saving themselves. In fact, they are weeding out beings in the cosmos that they think are not qualified to exist. Therefore, they have produced varieties of disasters and then used the excuse of giving people a lesson. However, this is not following the righteous Fa. Master's Fa-rectification is different from their way. Master is saving all sentient beings in the cosmos that deserve salvation. Some beings are very corrupt and incorrigible. Master eliminates them in order to prevent them from harming more beings. Therefore, Master's Fa-rectification is entirely different from what the old forces wanted. As Dafa disciples, our responsibility is to save sentient beings.
Those Beings Who Came for the Fa are the Most Precious
I came to understand from Master's Fa that most of the higher beings that came to the Three Realms believed that "the Fa could definitely save them." ("Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital") With this great faith, they came to the evil world, an action which in itself validates the Fa. Master has come for saving sentient beings in the cosmos and these beings are the most precious ones and are worthy of being saved. However, some beings have gotten lost in the biggest tribulation that was arranged by the old forces and have no way to achieve their goals. This is the most grievous thing.
Good is Rewarded with Good, and Evil with Evil
Facing a destructive calamity, human beings are weak, small and helpless. At this time, we can exhibit Dafa's benevolence and mighty power to them. In this way, they can feel a Dafa disciple's compassion and thus have the chance to reconsider the relationship between human beings and the cosmos. Examples of good being rewarded with good can always give people hope.
Retribution for evildoing will serve as a reminder to people. However, this recent disaster has involved a great deal of people. In my understanding, it is the arrangement of the old forces and this arrangement does not conform to the Fa-rectification. If we do not let sentient beings know the truth and thus save them, we cannot accomplish our vows to Master. Then this will be our failure.
When we save sentient beings with a pure compassionate heart, we will genuinely pay attention to their feelings and thus make them feel Dafa disciples' compassion and truly save them.
